The Academic Exploration Learning Community will assist freshmen in finding a potential major and career path that fits their unique skills and interests as well as help with the transition into the freshman year. The LC will provide information, activities, workshops and resources for use by LC participants to help in their decision-making process in selecting a major, and to make their first year successful as a student. LC residents live together in Allen Hall and McConnell Hall.
